New Video Out.

This trail got dangerous, pretty quickly. Narrow, muddy, off camber, slippery rocks and roots everywhere - a recipe for a scary trail.

Here's a video from my last ever camping / landing trip in the UK. It full of cool lanes, laughs, some suspense and some epic water splashes. Go check it out.

Hi everyone,

It's been forever since you heard from me. 2020 has been a weird one for us all. I had many distractions that kept me away from the Podcast. Having said that, we will come back stronger in 2021. There are some great episodes currently in the making, which I will be releasing shortly.

In the meantime, if you'd like to see what I got up to in 2020, go and check a quick recap on my youtube channel.

On the 25th December I went cycling in the hills outside Florence. After about 10km into the heart of the mountains my phone died and I found myself cycling down a highly technical and slippery single track without any modern means of navigation.

After several hours of trying to find my way, through old abandoned tracks through the mountains I finally spotted a road way under me. When I finally found the way out the track and onto the road, I ended up here, the fountain of youth. Today I decided to come back. Only this time I came with the Jeep...
